[Systers-dev] Systers Code Sprint at GHC 2009

[Robin Jeffries]

Knowing how women tend to think of themselves as "who me, an expert", I want
to second what Jen says (that it would be great to get a community of women
who want to work on making systers a more useful set of tools together in a
room for a couple of hours) but I also want to say that we don't need
experts in any of these areas -- if you know something about sql, mailman,
security -- if you've actually done some work in these areas --  you'll be
close enough to an expert to be of value here.  And, if you know less than
we expect, we will all learn together.  We are really interested in defining
what a "woman friendly" open source community would look and behave like, so
if you think that would be an interesting project -- show up.  I'm confident
we will find a way to put you to work.
